Questions from Newcastle sellers

The things people round here actually ask before they sell their decks.

What's a Technics deck worth in Newcastle?
It comes down to the variant, condition and whether it's a single or a matched pair. A clean MK2 or MK5 with its original lid sits higher than a marked, faulty one. We price each deck on its real state rather than a flat rate, so check the current ranges on the Technics page (/sell-my-technics/#value) and send photos for a firm figure.
How fast can you collect a Technics from a Jesmond or Heaton flat?
Usually next-day. Newcastle and Gateshead get a scheduled run up the A1 from our West Yorkshire base, and the student streets around NE2 Jesmond and NE6 Heaton are among our commonest stops. Give us the flat and a window that suits, and we'll lift the deck down and pay on exchange.
Do the different SL-1200 and SL-1210 variants change the offer?
They do. MK2 through MK7 each sit at a different level, with the MK5 and the later limited runs valuing strongly when clean. The silver 1200 and black 1210 are priced much alike; what moves the figure more is condition, servicing and whether the original lid is present. Tell us the model number off the underside.
Is a matched pair worth more than two single Technics decks?
A genuine matched pair in similar condition is the easier sell, so it tends to hold its value well, the way a Digital or WHQ veteran's hung-up rig would. That said, we buy singles gladly too. A lone MK5 from a Gosforth seller trading up rides along on the same Newcastle run, priced on its own merits.
Can you still take a Technics with a worn pitch fader or a tired tonearm?
Yes. Crackly pitch faders, a sloppy tonearm, worn bearings and missing headshells are all routine on club-veteran decks off the Tyneside circuit, and none of it stops a sale. We factor the wear into the figure rather than turning the deck away. Faulty and spares-or-repair Technics are worth quoting as well.
Why does a missing dust cover knock the figure on my SL-1200?
Original Technics lids are scarce and pricey to replace, so a deck with its genuine cover intact resells for more and we can offer more in turn. A cracked or absent lid won't stop us buying, whether it's coming out of a Ouseburn studio clearout or a Gosforth loft; it shifts the number a little. Mention it when you send photos.
